Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Patients: 1085

Route of administration:
dermal
Details on study design:
TYPE OF TEST USED: patch test (epicutaneous test)

Range finding study: For detection of contact allergy to a preservative commonly higher concentrations than use concentrations have to be tested. Initially, test substance 1 % in ethanol was tested, but morphologically irritant reactions were noted in some patients. Therefore, the test concentration was lowered to 0.25 %.

ADMINISTRATION
- Type of application: occlusive
- Description of patch: The patch test was performed with the Al test technique (Astra Agency, Södertälje, Sweden).
The Al test was attached to Scanpore tape and the patches were removed from the back after two days.
- Vehicle / solvent: a) ethanol, b) petrolatum
- Concentrations: 0.25%
- Volume applied: 25 µL
- Removal of test substance: After two days
- Testing/scoring schedule: The tests were read one or, occasionally, two days after the removal.

EXAMINATIONS
- Grading/Scoring system: According to ICDRG criteria
- Statistical analysis: Fisher's exact test was used.
